In the 54 years since the SS Great Britain returned to Bristol, the SS Great Britain Trust has continued the work of the pioneering volunteers who saved the ship, transforming a rusting hulk into one of the city’s leading visitor attractions and a groundbreaking story of maritime history and conservation. In addition to the ship, the site comprises the Brunel Institute, the Dockyard Museum, the Being Brunel interactive experience, a café, a gift shop, and event facilities – collectively creating a unique cultural experience.
